How to Find a Reliable Real Estate Agent
The holidays are done and the Marketplace is closed. For many of us military families, that often means one thing – it’s PCS season and you need a reliable real estate agent!
Military Space A Travel: Is it Worth It?
My husband originally joined the Wisconsin Army National Guard. In 2001, he went off to basic training and AIT. When 9/11 happened, he was at basic training in the woods of Fort Benning. He didn’t find out about the atrocities that had happened until later.
As you can imagine, he was fired up and ready to deploy. After training, he went back home where he worked multiple civilian jobs, including as a beekeeper and fitness instructor in addition to his National Guard responsibilities.
Is Golf a Sport?
I would like to share some comments with you about a newfound (to me) sport. I was asked if I play golf. Is golf a sport? I wasn’t sure.
My response was that when I want to dig a hole, I use a shovel. I must admit this sparked a lively conversation. When you see the following terms: bogey, birdie, condor, and eagle, what do you think about? At first, I was thinking about wildlife.
Dear Deployment Diary
Dear Deployment Diary,
Season: Departure
Here you are once again. The time has come to wipe the tears, push my shoulders back, and endure you. I have little ones at home and they need a strong parent. But what do I do when I don’t feel strong? What do I say when I have no words of wisdom for my 8-year-old who has so many questions? Do we really know the perfect words to say?
ACS Nurturing Program
When my service member and I moved to Fort Carson back in 2011, it was our first duty station, and we had no idea what to expect. Fortunately for us, we soon found a gem of a program offered through Army Community Service that got us through potty training, tantrums, and so much more.
No matter where you’re headed or currently stationed, the ACS Family Nurturing Program is something you should check out. Does free child care and kid-free adult interaction sound good to you? Great!
PCSing with Pets: A Cat’s Point of View
Let me curl up here and tell you a story.
It’s been weird around here for a few weeks now. My humans are always busy, and I only get to cuddle them when they sink into the giant blanket-covered sleeping spot.
Recon Rendezvous: Milspouse Marriage Advice (Part 2)
If we based our ideas about marriage on the movies, we would undoubtedly be shocked to discover the stuff in our everyday married lives that never shows up on the big screen: squeezing the toothpaste tube from the middle instead of the end, the hazards of nearly “falling in” when going to the bathroom in the middle of the night because someone left the seat up, how the bread is never sealed with the twisty-tie but instead is spun and tucked back under… Yeah, not the romantic homecoming kissy-kissy moments we see in the cinema.
